My Ridgeline shoot great. Sorry to hear you are having problems

Let me guess you got a 6.5 creed that shoots 1 hole groups? Lol

After the first one you bought and put a new barrel on, you must have bought the other 2 just for the Action, bottom metal, trigger and stock. What caliber and model are the ones you bought?

As excellent as Christensen may be, I vote for the Weatherby. I own three center fire Mark V rifles, including a 6 lug ULTRALIGHT, in 270 Win. They all feed and function and shoot very well. Look pretty good too!! Love the customer service of a long-established company, if ever needed.

Tikka. If you want to spend more money, replace the stock and barrel and you're still in the same price range as most of the other rifles mentioned and you have a semi custom rifle.

If you think Christensen's suck you obviously never owned one!

Indeed sir! The folks that bash Christensen and Leupold never owned one, very likely don't even shoot.

Why is that someone ask for opinions, and if the opinions don't agree with yours they must not own one, or never shot one, or don't even shoot. Sounds like a bunch of democraps tell us what we think

If you are insinuating you are not, Nuff said!!

Not sure what you think I'm insinuating. But maybe you can explain why if someone's opinion differs from yours they are wrong and don't own one or even shoot. I'm curious why people can't have a difference of opinion

 

[Lee7588]

The comment about democraps, is because that seems to be the way they think, having one collective brain

I have a Christensen and it shoots 1/2 MOA or better if I do my job. Worst thing about it is the Chamber is very tight and it develops a Carbon ring very quickly and then it pressures up. But for $2200-$2500 the average technically savvy person can build a DIY custom with a good action and a prefit barrel! I try and do the DIY route most of time now.

I think Cooper and Springfield Waypoint make a left handed rifle now that may be in the price point you're looking at.

Also don't discount the Ruger Hawkeye Hunter that's available in left hand. I have one in a 7mag that shoots excellent.
